“No more false dichotomies. It’s time for a real conversation about pot. “Incarceration or legalization?” “Lock ’em up, or let ’em loose?” These phrases have dominated the discussion about marijuana over the past decade. As a result, marijuana-legalization advocates — not scientists, doctors, people in recovery, disadvantaged communities or young people affected by marijuana use and its policies — have been at the forefront of changing marijuana laws in the United States. SAM is a group of experts and knowledgeable professionals advocating for a fresh approach that neither legalizes, nor demonizes, marijuana.”
